Two months ago, we held a live webinar — Not Your Father’s Database: How to Use Apache Spark Properly in your Big Data Architecture — which covered a series of use cases where you can store your data cheaply in files and analyze the data with Apache Spark, as well as use cases where you want to store your data into a different data source to access with Spark DataFrames.

The webinar is accessible on-demand. The slides and sample notebooks are also downloadable as attachments to the webinar. Join the Databricks Community Edition beta to get free access to Apache Spark and try out the notebooks.

We have also answered the common questions raised by webinar viewers below. If you have additional questions, please check out the Databricks Forum.
